How the SSD Value Calculator works
Value says how much of what matters to you an offer delivers for its price. The calculator recomputes it in your browser for every product in the list as soon as a priority changes. Prices and specifications are never altered: only the order and the Value column change.
How to use it
- Pick one of our presets in the calculator row. Each one is a ready set of priorities for one typical job.
- Press “Custom priorities” and move the sliders. 0 switches a priority off, 100 makes it count the most. The list re-sorts by your Value while you drag, and the row is marked “Custom”.
- Set a minimum capability to keep only the products graded at that level or higher for the scenario you choose.
- Copy the page address to keep or share the result: it carries your priorities and filters.
What each control does
- Purchase price
- How much price counts. At 50, Value is quality per dollar: a model 10% dearer must be 10% better to tie. 0 ignores price; 100 asks 21% more quality for 10% more money.
- Storage capacity
- Higher weight rewards larger SSD storage.
- Sequential read speed
- Higher weight rewards faster sequential read speeds.
- Sequential write speed
- Higher weight rewards faster sequential write speeds.
- Write endurance (TBW)
- Higher weight rewards higher write endurance ratings.
- Manufacturer warranty
- How much the offer's condition and warranty count. At 50, a used offer must be 25% cheaper than a new one to tie; 0 ignores condition.
- Minimum capability
- Hides the products below the grade you need, S to D, in one scenario. Grades measure capability without looking at price.
Why our presets are set this way
A preset is nothing more than a set of weights from 0 to 100, one per priority. These are the numbers each preset uses on this page, heaviest first. A priority that is not listed has weight 0 and does not count in that preset.

How to compare SSDs
Two SSDs that look alike can differ a lot in speed, endurance and price. This page lists every drive we track with a current offer in one table, so you can compare them on the same footing. Value is an optional ranking for weighing price against the capacity and performance you need.
Compare capacity and interface
Pick the capacity you need and the interface your computer supports, such as M.2 NVMe or SATA, then compare drives within it. Value never rewards terabytes you did not ask for.
Compare speed and endurance
Sequential read and write speeds, rated endurance (TBW), DRAM cache and NAND type sit in one table, so two drives that look alike can be told apart.
Check current SSD prices
Each row shows the cheapest current new offer and how many retailers carry the drive. Open a row to compare retailers, or add the refurbished and used offers we track.
Use Value within the capacity you actually need
Value weighs price against speed and endurance for the capacity you filtered to. Pick a use case or set the weights yourself, or leave priorities off to compare on price alone.
From the market to a shortlist
Filter the market
Set your budget, capacity, interface and form factor. Every filter shows how many are left.
Compare specifications and performance
Sort by speed, endurance or price and read the grade for your use case. Switch on priorities if you want Value to rank the list.

Questions about comparing SSDs
What should I compare between SSDs?
Make sure the form factor and interface fit your computer, choose the capacity you need, then compare speed, rated endurance (TBW), DRAM cache and the current price.
NVMe or SATA?
NVMe drives connect over PCIe and are much faster in sequential transfers; SATA drives are slower but work in older computers and 2.5-inch bays. Which one you can use depends on your slots (an M.2 slot has to support NVMe), and for everyday use the difference is smaller than the spec sheet suggests.
What do SSD speed figures mean?
Sequential read and write speeds are the manufacturer’s rated maximums for large files. Everyday responsiveness depends more on the interface, the controller and whether the drive has a DRAM cache, which is why those are listed too.
What is TBW?
Terabytes written: the amount of data the manufacturer rates the drive to write over its warranty. Higher means more endurance; for most home use even modest ratings last many years.
Will this drive fit my computer?
Check the form factor and the interface: an M.2 NVMe drive needs an M.2 slot that supports NVMe, a 2.5-inch SATA drive needs a SATA port and a bay. Filter by both to see only drives that fit.
How often are SSD prices updated?
Offers are refreshed as market snapshots; each offer shows when it was checked. Retail prices can change at any time, so confirm the final price on the retailer's site before buying.
What does the Value score mean?
Value is a relative score from 0 to 100 under the priorities you choose. Each weighted factor (performance, price, endurance and so on) is compared with the rest of this market, the factors are combined, and the best result in the current view scores 100. Turn priorities off to browse by price alone.
